Intro | Contact | Comments | Links

Regarding his minimalist work, Lagadec says that it is born from a desire to portray the duality between the mundane and the ethereal.

Based mainly classical mythological beings, his paintings express a transcendental and sensual vision of abstracted beauty. His work is a kind of visual poetry; a playful exploration of form and structure, enticing the viewer to decipher what the image may offer. With such simplicity of line what may appear at first to be an abstracted form crystallises into a clearly defined image.

Not creating perspective by conventional means, Lagadec has developed his own technique of raising the canvas or the water colour paper by "entailles", to produce a three dimensional work.

Lagadec's works offer expressive possibilities, and while in themselves are pieces of undeniable aesthetic elegance, force us to contemplate and interpret rather than to meekly observe and pass over. When observing Lagadec's work we find ourselves engaged in the pursuit of our perceptions, challenged to investigate the representations before us. Opposing the Western view that a painting is finished when you cannot add any more to it, he prefers the Eastern concept, that a work is finished when you cannot take any more out!
